Question

Write the phrase as an expression. Then evaluate when x=5. 6 more than the product of 8 and a number x

Answer 1

The given phrase as expression is $6 + 8x$

Evaluate when x = 5 is 46

Solution:

Given that we have to write the phrase as an expression

Given phrase is:

6 more than the product of 8 and a number x

Here " more than " represents "addition" and "product" means multiplication

Therefore,

6 + product of 8 and a number x

$6 + (8 \times x)$

So the required expression is:

$6 + 8x$

Evaluate when x = 5

Substitute x = 5 in above expression

$6 + 8(5) = 6 + 40 = 46$

Thus value when x = 5 is 46
